For people with enough upper body strength, it's worth learning about foam rolling. I learned the basics from my personal trainer a few years ago. After using a foam roller at the fitness center for a little while, I decided it was worth investing in one that I could use at home. I think it was worthwhile.
The key point for foam rolling is to take it slow and pay attention to how you feel as you roll. Only need a few rolls for each muscle group. As with regular stretching, consistency helps. Can use a foam roller daily, but most useful after exercise. Or a day of skiing. :-)
